Eh, that's not insurmountable with a flexible DM.Undead might be immune to poison but living people usually aren't; thus the way to make poison more useful is to not run as many undead-themed adventures.
Gygax's assumption was wrong, as were many he made about how the game would be played once released into the wild.
He was aware of that at the time he gave the interview.
James Bond is a dex fighter. You don't need to be an assassin to kill people, all PCs can do that.
<<smacks head>>
As written these days Bond's got more and more Fighter to him, but he's always been an Assassin underneath it all; as are all the double-0s.
Their job is to kill people, but all the double-0s have different skillsets, i.e. classes.
Isn't the bolded almost the very definition of an assassin?
Well I didn't design the whole class.
Which makes EVERY class an assassin. There are no not-killing-people classes in D&D.Isn't the bolded almost the very definition of an assassin?
There is no room for non-combat classes in 5e. If you had two rogue classes, one that was good at killing things and one that was not good at killing things no one would play the bad-at-killing-things class. You might as well delete it from the game.
